Re: Lyx 2.5.0 crash on mac book pro arm cpu
I also have exactly the same problem on an intel mac (iMac 2020). It generates the crash report if any window is open, but if all windows are closed there is not crash report on exiting Lyx (2.5.0). I also have Lyx installed on Ubuntu, and something similar appears to happen when I close Lyx. There is no crash report, but the system seems to hang for about 5-10 seconds, as if it is cleaning something up.

If you feel like changing it there, that should do the trick also. First backup the original files though so it's easy to restore them if anything is amiss.

Similar experience here with LyX 2.5.0 on an M4 Mac mini running 26.3.1. However, it only happens if I quit (via LyX → Quit LyX) with a LyX window open, whether or not a file is loaded. If I first close any open LyX windows and then quit via LyX → Quit LyX, I do not get the crash report window. Other than this, no issues with 2.5.0.

Perhaps this is already known, but if not, your observation gives an idea for a quick workaround (and for narrowing in on the root cause). Chris, Can you open some documents and then open the command buffer (I think with alt+x or command + x maybe on mac?). This will open a small toolbar at the bottom of your screen. Enter the following in the toolbar and press Enter: command-sequence buffer-close-all; lyx-quit Does it quit successfully, without crash, if you do it this way?

Similar experience here with LyX 2.5.0 on an M4 Mac mini running 26.3.1. However, it only happens if I quit (via LyX → Quit LyX) with a LyX window open, whether or not a file is loaded. If I first close any open LyX windows and then quit via LyX → Quit LyX, I do not get the crash report window. Other than this, no issues with 2.5.0.

Lyx 2.5.0 crash on mac book pro arm cpu
Hi, When I close LyX, either by just closing the window or through the menu LyX >> Quit LyX, the LyX program stops after a short delay. This is then followed by a crash report. This happens every single time I use Lyx 2.5.0. I have a Macbook pro M5 running OS 26.3.1. David Halpern -- lyx-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
